"In a single office suite in Alexandria, Va., firms
hired by “super PACs” share the same space as consultants hired by the
Romney campaign. Federal law prohibits super PACs from directly
coordinating with candidates, but the groups share many ties and have
paid for many similar services."...via AT, FR

"Strip away the candidate and coalition and it is on the fifth floor of
66 Canal Center Plaza where the seeds of Mitt Romney’s ruin and the
RNC’s get out the vote (GOTV) effort collapsed — bled to death by
charlatan consultants making millions off the party,

Eric Erickson at Red State has
been tracing the web of ownership and (conflict of?) interests among
the various Republican consulting operations, the 527s and staff at the
RNC, NRCC, NRSC, etc. It is complex, but here is a sample.

TargetPoint Consulting and WWP Strategies, two groups connected to Alexander and Katie Packer Gage, both received money
from the Romney Campaign wherein Katie Packer Gage served as deputy
campaign manager while also serving as a partner at WWP Strategies.

Katie Packer Gage's husband, Alexander, is the CEO and founder of TargetPoint Consulting, which got money both from the Romney campaign and also from Restore Our Future, the Romney Super PAC. Also getting money from the Romney Super PAC was the Black Rock Group.

Carl Forti is a partner at the Black Rock Group, the political director of American Crossroads, and a senior strategist for Restore Our Future. He also has ties to the Romney campaign

The new methods involvefiltering out noise from the data produced by
the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) spacecraft, sent
into orbit with the aim of finding out just how much ice is melting from
the world's ice sheets and glaciers. Such water then runs off into the
sea, providing one of the main potential drivers of sea level rise -
which is itself perhaps the main reason to worry about climate change....

Simons and his colleague Christopher Harig tried their new methods
out on GRACE data covering the Greenland ice sheet, which is of
particular interest as theArctic ice cap floats on the sea
and so cannot contribute directly to sea level rise
by melting.
Meanwhile the Antarctic ice cap is actually getting bigger, so Greenland
is probably the major worry.
According to a Princeton statement highlighting the new research:

While overall ice loss on Greenland consistently increased between
2003 and 2010, Harig and Simons found that it was in fact very patchy
from region to region.In addition, the enhanced detail of where and how much ice melted
allowed the researchers to estimate that the annual acceleration in ice
loss is much lower than previous research has suggested, roughly
increasing by 8 billion tons every year. Previous estimates were as high
as 30 billion tons more per year.

The rate of loss of ice from Greenland is estimated at 199.72 plus-or-minus 6.28 gigatonnes per year

So the possible acceleration of losses is only barely larger than the
margin of error in the readings: it's very difficult to tell the
supposed loss curve from a straight line.

In other words the possible acceleration in ice losses is barely
perceptible: it may not really be happening at all. Similar results were
seen not long ago in GRACE data for central Asian mountain glaciers, another suggested source for sea-level rises.

At current melt rates, the Greenland ice sheet would take about
13,000 years to melt completely, which would result in a global
sea-level rise of more than 21 feet (6.5 meters).

Put another way, in that scenario we would be looking at 5cm of sea
level rise from Greenland by the year 2130: a paltry amount.
Authoritative recent research
drawing together all possible causes of sea level rise bears this out,
suggesting maximum possible rise in the worst case by 2100 will be 30cm.
More probably it will be less, and there will hardly be any difference
between the 20th and 21st centuries in sea level terms.

The new GRACE research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"For the first time in Gallup trends since 2000, a
majority of Americans say it is not the federal government's
responsibility to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage.
Prior to 2009, a majority always felt the government should ensure
healthcare coverage for all, though Americans' views have become more
divided in recent years.

The current results are based on Gallup's annual Health and Healthcare poll,conducted Nov. 15-18 this year.

The shift away from the view that the government should ensure
healthcare coverage for all began shortly after President Barack Obama's
election and has continued the past several years during the
discussions and ultimate passage of the Affordable Care Act in March
2010. Americans are divided on that legislation today -- 48% approve and
45% disapprove -- as they have been over the last several years.

Republicans, including Republican-leaning independents, are mostly
responsible for the drop since 2007 in Americans' support for government
ensuring universal health coverage. In 2007, 38% of Republicans thought
the government should do so; now, 12% do. Among Democrats and
Democratic leaners there has been a much smaller drop, from 81% saying
the government should make sure all Americans are covered in 2007 to 71%
now.

In April 2012 Obama campaign manager Axelrod complained publicly about Gallup methodology that showed Romney ahead. After Gallup declined to change its methods, Obama DOJ sued Gallupon another matter.The election's over but there's a negative poll on ObamaCare, per above, and a new attack on Gallup by the White House:

The 57-page civil complaint says that Gallup, the world’s
best-known polling organization, inflated estimates for the number of
hours that it would take to perform its polling services for the
Treasury and State departments. The Justice Department accused Gallup of
submitting false invoices totaling $13 million."...

Rice later became President Clinton’s assistant secretary of state for
African affairs, then joined the nonprofit Brookings Institution think
tank during the George W. Bush administration. She advised both the
Kerry and Obama presidential campaigns on foreign policy.

According to her most recent financial disclosure reports,
along with her TransCanada investments, Rice and her husband own at
least $1.5 million worth of stock in Enbridge (Canada’s No. 3 oil
producer, according to Forbes), Cenovus (No. 7), and Encana (No.
8), as well as at least $1.25 million in Imperial (No. 2), $50,000 to
$100,000 in Suncor (No. 1), and $15,000 to $50,000 inCanadian Natural (No. 6). (TransCanada is ranked at No. 5 by Forbes.)
The couple has at least $1.25 million invested in Transalta, Alberta’s
largest coal-fired electricity power producer, and at least $1.5 million
in Canadian Pacific Railway, which transports coal, oil, and gas and has been a major financial beneficiary of the North American energy boom.

On the banking side, Rice has investments
totaling at least $5 million and up to $11.25 million in Bank of
Montreal, Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal
Bank of Canada, and Toronto Dominion. A report by the Dutch consulting
firm Profundo Economic Research says several of these same banks are largely responsible
for underwriting the expansion of Canada’s tar sands industry.

"The Voter ID Amendment has come and gone, but now that
the election is over, we're checking to see if voter fraud was an issue
this year. In many counties in our area it wasn't, but Mower County is
investigating three cases.

It was one of the biggest issues on the ballot, but Minnesota voters
have spoken, saying no to Voter ID. "I did not support changing the
constitution," said Democratic Representative Jeanne Poppe. ..."Changing the constitution is a high threshold to do
something that I think, if it needs to be done, it needs to be done
legislatively," said Poppe.

She says she still stands by that, even after Mower County officials
say three people allegedly committed voter fraud this election. "Should
we change everything for three people? We need to find the right
solution," she said.

"It's kind of unusual that we caught three people allegedly trying to
commit fraud in Mower County, nevertheless, I think that we need to
press forward and try to gain new additional methods in order to detect
and prevent people from committing voter fraud," said Republican Mike
Benson.

However even larger counties, like Olmsted, saw nothing. "We probably
had somewhere around 93.5 percent of voter turnout to the tune of about
78,000 ballots and in Olmsted County, where we have not seen any
evidence of voter fraud in the 2012 election," said Olmsted County
Director of Property Records and Licensing, Mark Krupski.

Proponents of the knocked-down amendment argue that many may have lied at the polls, we just don't know it.

"First of all, I was a very strong proponent of the Voter ID and I
think there is a need in the election system to add integrity. I don't
think we catch all of the voter fraud that goes on and I think it would
be very difficult in our current system to find out," said Rep. Benson.

We do not know what happened in the three cases of voter fraud in Mower
County because officials would not speak on that. We also checked with
Freeborn County, they say they had no cases of voter fraud this year.

Though in the past, both Freeborn and Olmsted counties had a couple
cases. These were all felons who didn't know if their rights had been
restored." via Free Republic

"New York home prices fell 2.3 percent at the end of the third quarter
compared with the year-ago quarter — while most of the country was
seeing home prices rebound, a survey yesterday showed.

The
weakness in the Big Apple was the result of weakness in the financial
services sector, born out of Wall Street’s fears over tighter
regulation, said David Blitzer, director of the S&P/Case-Shiller
Index, which produced the survey.

The survey, which tracks the top
20 metropolitan areas, showed homes prices overall gained 3.6 percent
in the quarter — their best upswing since July 2010.

As I wrote then, “Rich Beeson is the Political Director of the RNC.
Before going to the RNC (and after leaving the RNC I’m sure), Beeson was
a partner at FLS.”

Beeson went on to be the Political Director for
Mitt Romney

in charge of the now famous ORCA program collapse. But let’s go back to what I wrote in 2009. Remember the much touted and beloved voter vault program?

The RNC, which did all the hard work of putting together
the much touted Voter Vault program sold the data to FLS and now has a
very pricey lease back from FLS. Voter Vault is also pretty much crap
these days. After all that investment and now a costly lease back
program, I’m told the data isn’t that reliable any more. . . .

Here’s the thing: according to some friends inside the RNC, no other
phone vendors were allowed to bid on the work that FLS got. None. Now,
the rates don’t seem out of line, though there is some suspicion from a
few friends at the RNC that FLS charged more for calls not connected to
the campaign. (I don’t know what the live call rate was billed at)

I don’t know Rich Beeson. I don’t know anything about FLS Connect,
though I’m sure they are a good vendor if the President used them.

the Political
Director of the RNC gave a multi-million dollar contract to his own
companywithout opening bidding to anyone else? He told National Journal
he wasn’t getting anything for it. But come on — the guy was a partner
at the firm and will probably head back there if he isn’t there already.
He’s getting a benefit. It’s just delayed.

In fact, we see this pattern now that we saw with Rich Beeson then.
Republican consultants are claiming they are not getting any sort of
money for all those ad commissions, mail commissions, etc.

They’re just
doing it for free or some such. This is all so familiar. But here’s where it gets better.

Beeson was a partner at FLS. The FLS stands for Feather, Larson, and Syndhorst. As an aside, it is hilarious that the FLS Connect website looks like something out of MS Frontpage ’98.

Rich Beeson left FLS and went to the RNC and wound up going to serve as Mitt Romney’s Political Director.

Jeff Larson, the L in FLS, left his partnership at FLS to become the Chief of Staff

am at these people."================================="stanleybix•

It’s also becoming more common among
veterans. Though timely numbers are elusive, the Department of Veterans
Affairs reported that 3,871 veterans who were enrolled in VA care killed
themselves in 2008 and 2009.

Active-duty members of the military
who succeed in killing themselves are treated as having died honorably.
Active-duty members who try and fail may be prosecuted under the Uniform
Code of Military Justice if the suicide attempt is deemed conduct that
causes “prejudice to good order and discipline” or has a “tendency to
bring the service into disrepute.”

“You don’t think people will
think less well of the military if people are killing themselves?” Judge
Margaret A. Ryan asked rhetorically.

The Marine Corps recorded
163 suicide attempts last year and 157 attempts so far this year,
according to the service’s Suicide Prevention Program. Statistics for
other branches weren’t immediately available. Prosecutions are
infrequent, but they do occur."...via Drudge

Among comments to Ms. Dowd's article about GOP questioning of Susan Rice:

"Bill Appledorf, British Columbia

The
lack of substance in the ongoing media torrent of (Susan) Rice puffs is
laughable next to actual analysis of the US policy of "Humanitarian
Intervention" -- of which Rice is an adherent -- by a scholar who has
thoughtful insights to offer.

Since
when is it the duty of diplomats to tell the truth rather than toe the
government line? Governments decide what position to take and diplomats
are stuck with that position. Sometimes they abandon the position and
go into exile, but usually they hang in and do their jobs.

The
only legitimate criticism of Ms. Rice would be that she misunderstood or
overstepped her instructions or otherwise carried them out badly. The
idea that she is some sort of reporter or ombudsman who owes us the
utter truth as she sees it, is absurd." via Free Republic

Commenter "garyinaz66," to ridiculous storyon Breitbart about GOP jerks, complete with big scary lookingpicture of phonies absolutely no one is afraid of about the non-issue of Susan Rice:

------------------------------------------------------------------

Commenter: "The republicans are missing the point, Rice should be marginalized....Republicans are once again falling into a clearly visible democrat trap." ------------------------------------------------------------------

Breitbart's headline on page 1 of the website about this pathetic non-story was :

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud
Abbas, rebuffed in an attempt last year to have the 15-member UN
Security Council recognize a Palestinian state, on Thursday is planning
to ask all countries at the UN to approve Palestinian status as a
non-member observer state on Thursday – a bid Israel staunchly opposes.

Eight weeks ago, when he was in New York to accept an award from a
private organization, Mr. Harper took a drive across the city as
countries assembled for the opening of the new session of the UN General
Assembly to have a short, brusque meeting with Mr. Abbas.

In a
little room at the United Nations, Mr. Harper skipped most of the
pleasantries in a 15-minute meeting, according to sources briefed on the
session, and told Mr. Abbas he had come to deliver a message: If you
keep doing what you’re doing, he said –referring to the Palestinian bid
for upgraded status – “there will be consequences.”

It was just one part of the bare-knuckle approach Canada has taken toward the UN bid, though largely out of public view....

Mr. Abbas’s Fatah is the
faction that the West prefers, but the quick consensus in the Middle
East is that Hamas “resistance” has won ground in public opinion during
the week of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, and moderate Fatah has been
weakened, including in the West Bank....

The
United States and Canada have listed Hamas as a terrorist organization.
Fatah, founded by Yasser Arafat, has been more or less encouraged: the
Palestinian Authority gets aid from Washington and Ottawa and its de
facto diplomats are received in both capitals. So far.

A source
said the Canadian government has warned the Palestinian Authority’s
representatives that their “embassy” in Ottawa – in fact a delegation
office, because Palestine isn’t a state – might be closed, and the
Palestinian envoy, Said Hamad, sent home.

In addition, Foreign
Affairs Minister John Baird has told several people, including
Palestinian representatives, that he’ll travel to New York to personally
cast the vote against the UN bid, several sources said.

There are
more serious potential aspects to the “consequences” about which Mr.
Harper warned: cutting off money. Ottawa pledged $300-million in aid
over five years starting in 2008, and that period is about to run out....

Mr. Abbas launched a bid for full
UN membership last year, but that required approval of the 15-member
Security Council, and it was stifled with the U.S. threatening a veto.
Now he plans to return Nov. 29 with proposal to have the General
Assembly – in a vote he is expected to win handily – grant “non-member
observer state” status.The key word is state, for its symbolic
value and because it might open doors to UN agencies and the
International Criminal Court....

The U.S. is against
it, and the Harper government has lobbied vociferously. Others, such as
Britain, have also asked them to delay, arguing it is “not helpful”
now.

Mr. Abbas has been undeterred. His officials have said
they’re willing to negotiate with Israel, but only once they win a
“victory” at the UN....

"[W]hen Israel, the only country in the world whose very existence is
under attack, is consistently and conspicuously singled out for
condemnation, I believe we are morally obligated to take a stand,"
Harper said last year.

Harper said Canada must oppose demonization, double standards and de-legitimization.

"Not just because it is the right thing to do, but because history
shows us, and the ideology of the anti-Israel mob tell us all too well,
that those who threaten the existence of the Jewish people

are in the
longer term a threat to all of us," he said.

"Whether it is at the United Nations or any other international
forum, the easiest thing to do is simply to just get along and go along
with this anti-Israel rhetoric, to pretend it is just about being
even-handed, and to excuse oneself with the label of honest broker," Harper added.

The Canadian prime minister further affirmed that "as long as I am
prime minister… Canada will take not that stand, whatever the cost." via Atlas Shrugs

"The Republican Party has won a majority of the popular vote just once in
the last six elections. That dismal track record followed a party
revival in the 1980s, when Ronald Reagan led the GOP to three straight
popular vote majorities.

To understand what went wrong, it's important to remember Reagan was an
insurgent candidate who defeated the Republican establishment of his
era.

When Reagan left office, however, the old establishment reasserted
control.

They consistently nominated candidates for president who
opposed Reagan in 1980

and consistently lost elections.

The difference is thatRonald Reaganbelieved in the American people and
was skeptical of government.Today's Republican establishment believes
in government and is skeptical of the American people.

That's why most
Republican voters today believe the party is out of touch with the base."...via Free Republic

==================

Ed. note: Today's GOP establishment is of course the Bush crowd, especially Jeb Bush, Karl Rove, Fox News. Jeb Bush is openly contemptuous of we the people. The media believes the same thing the Bush crowd believes, which is that big gov. is good and right of center Americans must be silent. The NY Times and others are making sure Jeb Bush gets all the publicity, takes all the oxygen away, to ensure we the people don't have a voice in promoting the kind of candidate we need to save this country. Rush Limbaugh has said several times that the Bush crowd brutally and loudly opposed Ronald Reagan's ascension and election. Others have said Reagan's biggest mistake was choosing his critic George Bush to be vp.

“The immunity from prosecution guarantees that the U.N. is not thwarted in the execution of its duties as a
result of court cases being instigated against it, possibly for no other
reason than to frustrate the U.N.’s work,” the court said. “It is in the best public interest that the U.N. can avail itself of its duties untroubled.”
